Rice Culture.

Tn our last issue. we drew a parallel
between the cost of production of cot
ton as compared to rice, showing that
in the cultivation of the former it was
all year work, and that the latter crop
only required about One-third of the
labor from men and teams. We also
pointed out the relative yield per acre
of each one of these crops and the prices
OF the same in the markets of the world,
which leaves the paying margin of
profits decidedly in favor of rice as q
staple product of lands that can he util-
lied for this grain. At the same time
we drew attention to the fact, that the
cultivation of cotton need not be
dropped, but that the spare time, when
the rice crop was seeded down and
growing, could be devoted to the culti-
walton of cotton as an auxiliary crop to
swell the haryests of the farmer and
give more certain and better returns for
his labor. In this way the planter
would not have to depend solely upon
one crop to reward his labor-as is the
case with an all cotton crop-but in the
event of the failure of one he might
succeed In the other. More than this,
he would utilize low lands that would
otherwise lie idle, because being unfit
for corn or cotton. Now, when a rice
cleaning mill is erected in Opelonsas
there will be other decided advantages
aecruing to the rice planter which he
does not now enjoy, and which we have
not allnded to in our previous articles
on this subject. We refer to tho refuse
part of the rice, after it is cleaned, such
as rice polish, shorts, and bran, which
the planter can use as food for his
horses and cows, This will be clear
and valuable gain to the farmer, be-
cause, heretofore, in selling or shipping
the rough rice he has not only lost this
excellent stock food, but bad to pay
nineteen cents. extra freight upon this
refuse matter in each barrel of rough
rice shipped to New Orleans. Hereaf-
ter, he will not only save the nineteen
cents dead freight on each barrel
shipped, but as already stated can sell
the rice polish, and take the shorts and
bran home to feed his stock on during
the winter. So the.saving Of nineteen
cents in freight and the using of this
waste matter as food for stock will still
fuither enhance tile profits in rice eul-
ture. We have a large area Of splendid
aice lands 10 this parish, and We believe
that by utilizing them in a judicious
system of rice cultivation, and reducing
TO moderate bounds the ara OF cotton.
that our planters may achieve an indie.
pendence and prosperity that will nevel
emanate from an overplodnction of cot
ton, the ruling low prices of the same
and the immense labor and expense re
qnired to produce our current cottoi
crops. Let our people give rice mor'
attention at any rate. Experience ha
fully taught the yearly disappointment
and short returns in large cotton crops

EDITORS COURIER:
The crops OF corn aud cane are growing and
looking promising ut present throughout this
section Of country. The cotton crop is some
what backward, owing to the very dry wealth
er we had during the five weeks past, but
the glorious rains came pouring down ON the
22l inst and started the cotton plant to
growing Some farmers think that they will
have to plant part of their cotton again,
owing to the fact that seed planted when the
dry season set in will not come up to a stand.
Oats are looking well, but the crop sowed last
fall and the past winter was not very, large
consequently the oat harvest will be short:
Fruit trees appear to be pretty well laden
with young fruit, aud present indications
leads ns to believe that there will be an abun-
dance of peaches. Both the blackberry aud
dewberry vines are loaded with fine fruit, so
much so that the berries are dirt Cheap this
year.
! think it is o mistaken notion that red
clover will not grow here. ! have seen it
tried on small scale, aud feel satisfied that
when properly planted it will do we'll Has
any one ever tried Timothy that you know OF
That is n grass that ought to grow aud do
well here in this climate. 1t is better than
red clover as a fat producer, and believe it
could be successfully grown in southern Loui-
siana.

prospects in the COURIER. You are dolu.
